Since the start of Deber, rumbling has been continually coming from the northern edge of the empire. Tremors run out, scarring the land, sometimes dozens of miles long. Today one final great pulse was felt the empire over. In the distant lands of Ishma and Amlas teas were spilled and snakes disturbed. In the Empire itself, structural damage is common and great areas of land in the north is torn up as roads become impassable and small farms are lost.

Standing central to all this destruction is a great humanoid figure, skin of stone, seemingly unaware of the destruction it has caused. At close to 150ft tall, it dwarfs the environment, being distantly visible from both Deci and Gillenum. It takes a step, ever so slowly and as it plants its foot tremors begin once more. Slowly, it walks south.
